THE LUCKY ONE movie review

from the author of The Notebook, Dear John and more romance novels, Nicholas Sparks, comes another inspiring movie that may save someone's life. The Lucky One, presented by Warner Bros. Pictures opens here in the Philippines on April 19, 2012.

a former war hero, US Marine Sgt. Logan Thibault, (Zac Efron) gets fortunate escaping death while finding a photo in the middle of nowhere where it has drove him out of an accident. then after his duty and coming back to the United States, he searches for the woman on the photo and hoping to thank her. and so as he founds Beth (Taylor Schilling), he couldn't say the words and even so, he fell in love with her. Beth happens to be involved with someone and bore a child whom Logan didn't have a hard time connecting with the family except from the former husband, Keith (Jay Ferguson).

along the way, he struggles in his secret hiding how he was able to come to Beth. but after all, he enjoys the company and as a marine duty, he protects his lucky charm. dealing with Keith was not easy but as accustomed to soldiers, he also protects citizens like him but he wasn't able to do it able a dreadful accident.

in the movie, you will see how soldiers find it hard to adjust from war to a citizen life. it should be well understood that we should take care of them in return. on the other hand, love story is pretty predictable. boy finds girl, girl clueless about the boy suddenly falls in love. then secrets will be revealed, etc. there are also no remarkable lines like we were used to from other Nicholas Sparks movies. Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling may have missed the chemistry factor teaming up in this movie. the steam is somehow funny rather than hot.

watch The Lucky One from Warner Bros. Pictures. starring Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling as Logan and Beth starting April 19 2012 in Philippine theaters.

instruments and waxes

in its franchise branch in Serendra at The Fort, Taguig City, i tried the Boyzilian waxing service. first timers like me are hesitant at start but i'm liking the results. here's the technique, talk to your attendant constantly so that you'll get comfortable of the procedure. bravery and strong will is also required for this. be ready to control your greatest shouts because it IS pretty painful.

let's talk about the attendants. Strip's attendants are nice and treat them as a doctor to get out the malicious things in your head. but if you cannot help your physical reactions like erections, it would also be beneficial because hair can be easily removed from a stretched skin. as noted by Strip, the male and female ratio of their customers are about 40:60. meaning there i a great number of coming customers to Strip. as perceived that waxing is for gay men, professionals, teens, boyfriends come to Strip for hygienic purposes and not just being forced by their partners or friends.

visit STRIP Ministry of Waxing in the areas nearest you. if you're in the south area of Manila, there is a STRIP salon located at Makati in Greenbelt and at the 2nd floor of Serendra district at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. and you don't have to be shy to share that you did the Boyzilian.

stop the NOKOR MISSILE TEST

on April 12 - 16, North Korea will be testing a missile which may land on the Philippine Deep. a photo below shows which area will greatly be affected by the missile when it hits the waters.

yes, it may exclude the area where people inhabits the land. but look at the picture on how it will affect one source of Filipino living. the Philippine Deep has been documented as the most diverse water area in all the world. a large ecosystem of different marine animals and plants thrive within the deepest ocean floor.

to the government, i think you have forgotten that we have an increasing number of marine life like the whale shark and the pawikans. NGOs, and probably you, have been telling future generations that we have the richest soil and waters. let us all experience this diversity of the seas. not just seen in the books and pictures.

i hope this is a call to action. don't just stand there and wait what will happen when the missile strikes. we have been very welcome to Koreans entering our country and we look down at their money that boosts our tourism industry. we can be self-sustainable. and there's a lot of things to do. we've done it before Muroroa Attoll and i hope we can stop this too.

i strongly disagree if this missile test happens just for a diplomatic agreement. any military action like this must never be done in the first place, regardless of where it may strike.
